Respected Sir/Ma’am
This is to inform you that from the last few years our organization is using ERP system in
order to handle the organizational operations however due to the rising problems and with the
aim of organizational expansion, it is quite necessary to move our ERP system to cloud. We
have come forward with the project in which we will develop a cloud based ERP system for
effectively handling our data and for this we need a budget of around AUD45, 000. The
project will be helpful in providing a number of benefits to our organization including
enhanced accessibility, boosting business value as well as empowering our IT department to
take strategic actions.
We are looking forward to your response
Thanking you,
(Project manager)
